Andrew Clarke

Andrew Clarke is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger and depression. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps so people can start feeling steadier in day-to-day life. He welcomes conversations about coping with major life changes and the pressure those bring.

Andrew works from the view that each person knows their own story best. He draws out strengths and practical options rather than imposing solutions. Sessions aim to make feelings easier to understand and manage, and to find small changes that make a real difference at home and work.

He trained in counselling and holds BACP registration, which is noted as his professional credential. Andrew brings five years of professional experience to his practice and also offers supervision to other counsellors.

In sessions he uses a mix of approaches depending on the issue and the person. That can mean focusing on attachment and emotional patterns, looking at how past experiences shape current reactions, or concentrating on practical, solution-focused steps. Expect a calm, straightforward style and a focus on what will help you between appointments.

People come to him for a range of concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, anger and impulsivity, guilt and shame, and coping with separation or financial stress. He aims to help clients clarify goals and build manageable plans to move forward.

How Andrew’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current emotional reactions. It can help when anger, abandonment fears or communication problems keep repeating in adult life. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor following the person's lead and offering empathic, non-judgemental support that helps people feel heard and understood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will discuss goal-setting and preferences in early sessions and together they will decide which combination of methods fits best. This is a collaborative process that can change as the work progresses.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example they can remove travel time, allow appointments during a work break, or make it simpler to attend when someone needs a shorter check-in rather than a longer commute. Different approaches adapt well to remote talking therapy, and the focus will remain on practical steps, emotional understanding and agreed goals regardless of the setting.
